Note that the article states that the virus has been inactivated so was no longer infectious. One possible explanation is that they needed these samples for some research purposes and couldn’t get approval of some sort so decided to just bring the samples back. Very stupid!! And lying to the CBP is a big no-no! Hope there will be an update as this case unfolds.
